(CNN) -- The European Union's top diplomat, Catherine Ashton, met with deposed Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy for two hours Monday -- the first high-level official aside from the Egyptian military to meet with Morsy since the military whisked him away to an undisclosed location last month.
Ashton has sharply criticized Morsy's forcible removal from power by the Egyptian military on July 3, and has called for Islamists to be included in the political process.
Her spokeswoman confirmed the meeting in a tweet, but did not offer details.
"We didn't talk to the EU foreign policy chief Ms. Catherine Ashton after she met President Morsy but we made it clear to her that we will keep protesting for our civil rights until the legitimate president is released," said Essam Elerian, the vice chairman of the Freedom and Justice Party.
"And as we said it before, restoring the democratic legitimacy of our elected president is non negotiable."
Morsy was the vice president of the party before his election as Egypt's president.
Protesters demanding Morsy's return to power have taken to the streets since he was deposed, saying they won't leave until Morsy is restored as president.
They have also expressed concern because the army refuses to disclose where Morsy's being held.
"I wish Ms. Ashton took some of President Morsy's family members with her to meet him because that should have been a priority," Elerian said.

Why do you want to kill yourself?

Imagine this. You come home from school one day. You’ve had yet another horrible day. You’re just ready to give up. So you go to your room, close the door, and take out that suicide note you’ve written and rewritten over and over and over You take out those razor blades, and cut for the very last time. You grab that bottle of pills and take them all. Laying down, holding the letter to your chest, you close your eyes for the very last time. A few hours later, your little brother knocks on your door to come tell  you  dinners ready. You don’t answer, so he walks in. All he sees is you laying on your bed, so he thinks you’re asleep. He tells your mom this. Your mom goes to your room to wake you up. She notices something is odd. She grabs the paper in your hand and reads it. Sobbing, she tries to wake you up. She’s screaming your name. Your brother, so confused, runs to go tell Dad that “Mommy is crying and sissy won’t wake up....

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo There are strong indications that efforts by the Peoples Democratic Party to make former President Olusegun Obasanjo to have a rethink  on his decision to stay away from the party’s activities  have failed.  Investigations on Thursday showed that Obasanjo insisted when the new PDP National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu visited him on January 26, that Jonathan  must  honour his alleged promise in 2011 not to contest the 2015 presidential election. A very reliable  PDP national officer  confided in  The PUNCH that  Obasanjo also  gave  other conditions that the new leadership of the party must meet before he would have a change of mind.  They include the restructuring of the party as well as   the correction of the  anomalies relating to the removal of Olagunsoye Oyinlola as the national secretary of the PDP  and Bode Mustapha  as  national auditor in early...
